On April 27, 2024, a Saturday evening me and my wife had a reservation for the cooking tables. when we arrived we were seated and ordered drinks and appetizers so far so good The chef came with his tools and cart of orders and started the show. I ordered rib steak medium rare and lobster tail. the show was great but the food was tough, boot tough I could not even eat it, everything tasted the same we could not believe it one taste and hard to eat, no sooner were the plates removed the server came with the bill and no smile? Once is to much. Would not recommend this place.

Rude and arrogant manager!! They were so mean to my son and I on his Birthday. They refused to seat us ahead of walk ins and we had a reservation. There were mouldy dish containers coming out of the kitchen with peoples glasses! I have heard people get sick from the food here! Beware and spend your money at a place where you are treated with respect.

Excellent little Japanese restaurant! Delicious food, (the udon is fantastic) ample seating and lovely service. Hope I can visit again some time!
classic japanese restaurant that you don’t see much anymore. maki’s have the right touch of ingredients. the sashimi was fantastic — nicely cut, super fresh.

First of all, there are two sides to the restaurant, and the entrance is on the Sushi side. If you are coming for Teppanyaki and have no reservation, you need to specifically tell them that you are there for Teppanyaki. I still highly recommend that you make reservation. Next, as expected in the Bloor-Yonge area, parking is extremely limited. You can either try your luck and drive around, or just go straight to the Green P in Yorkville Ave.Once you are seated (but your group is not big enough), you kind of have to wait a little until your table is full, and again for the chef.Now, the service was amazing, and the food was pretty good. It was very interesting that (almost) everything has Wasabi Icecream in it. The fried rice was quite a bit more expensive, $8 extra I believe, but I would recommend that at least one person in the group try it.

Yesterday was my wife's birthday ? and we had dinner at Yamato to celebrate.The ambiance was nice, food was good and the service was exceptional. We had a great time and will return for sure.If you're visiting Toronto be sure to go to Yamato. You'll enjoy it !
Pleasant ambient, approachable stuff and great food.

Great place to enjoy and experience teppanyaki. Service on point and the food was delicious. You really don't need the sauces as the food is already well seasoned. I would just get plain rice next time around and skip the $8 add on for fried rice.
The interactive nature of the meal made it a fun and engaging experience!

The servers are very nice, always with a big smile. The Udon soup have become my daughter’s new comfort soup. Other kid loved the sushi. The service was fast. Overall, very pleasant experience.

The only reason I took a star off for atmosphere was because it was packed and therefore quite noisy.2 birthday parties on a Tuesday night. Testament to Yamato's popularity and fantastic fare!
